Lord Browne of Ladyton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

If I have understood my noble friend’s response to this debate, do the Government accept the NAO and Public Accounts Committee’s assessment that UK REACH lacked capacity to do its job? If so, has Defra allocated sufficient funding to bring it up at least to the productivity of EU REACH in the quantity of assessments, recommendations and decisions that it makes? The statistics show that it is not doing anything much in this space.
